37-670 capacitor questions
#1

Hi All,

I am slowly gathering information and parts to recap my 37-670 console. I've already ordered the schematic and service notes from Chuck Schwark and I'm following along with Joernone's restoration of a 37-2670 on You Tube.

I've got a bakelite block, 8035-DG that needs two 110 pf silver mica capacitors. That part I know. The part that concerns me is the working voltage, which, according to the Philco Service Bulletin No. 289 on Chuck Schwark's site, needs to be 1200 working volts. Is that still true? And, if so, where can I order them?

The other capacitor question concerns the two Philco original .0015 1500 volt capacitors that are item # 73 and 74 on the schematic. The schematic shows them each having a value of .003. Did Philco change them out for the ones I have? Should I try and find a couple of .0015 1500 capacitors or use something else?

Thanks a lot, Tom
